When Major League Soccer celebrated the end of its 25th season as a league, it released a list of its 25 greatest players. The list was star studded, but one of its brightest stars currently gives back to the league as one of its head coaches. The gritty, physical play of defender Robin Fraser was recognized for his role in shaping how defense is played in America’s domestic league.
Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Robin Fraser grew up in Miami, playing soccer at Miami Palmetto High School before attending FIU Panthers in 1984. His freshman year, FIU won the Division II national championship, and he was one of its dominant players.
